Trundling along to me would be 30 or 40 MPH, 'In Traffic' sounds almost built up poss 30 or 40 MPH limit. 4 or 5 gear really? bit hopeful expecting a bike to accelerate hard from those sort of speeds in 4th let alone 5th gear, bang it into 3 and nail it. Or if you want to impress everyone 2nd and pop the wheel up on a rapid change down.
